Card-Cover open My card -cover open message keeps me from not being able to take or retieve pictures that are already taken. What can I do? I replaced batteries and memory card without the problem being solved. What can I do ? FRUSTRATED
When you turn the camera on, the screne display reads "card-cover open". My daughter is unable to use the camera. Is there anything we can do to resolve this issue ourselves? Thank

According to Olympus Tech Support this is a Sensor issue and requires repair. They quoted $86 for repairs...to me that is just not worth it, I have the same issue but purchased a good used camera on ebay for only $40! Good luck, sory I couldn't hel ...

The cover on the battery and SD card opening on the camera broke off and couldn't be found on the ground. A small piece of cover and the hinge are still on the camera. When the camera is turned on a message 'card cover open' comes on screen and though I made a temporary cover with a thin piece of wooden pop stick and another with some stiff card and taped them on the camera still came up with same message. Can I get a new cover/door or what can I do??

I imagine the only way to obtain a proper part is to send it to an approved Olympus service centre, hopefully under warranty (though I expect they would not regard this as covered).The camera must have some way of telling that the door is ...

I inherited a C-3000zoom camera. When I turn it on it says: card-cover open. It's not open. Removed card, opened, closed cover; works fine but says

Card-Cover Open Camera only shows that card cover is open when closed... will not allow me to take pics. Have removed battery and card but still does not work.

I have an Olympus Stylus Tough -6000 digital camera and when I turn it on a message appears on the screen that says "Card-Cover Open" and it won't allow me to operate the camera. The problem is that the card cover is NOT open, the battery and USB covers are securely closed, so I don't know what to do. Please Help! Thanks

Card-cover open I keep getting a "card-cover open" warning when I power on. The door is closed, and it is not allowing me to do anything. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Look for the switch on the memory card door of your camera. Usually a small piece of plastic on the door closes the switch when the door is closed. Check to make sure that the plastic piece is not worn down and is making contact with the switch. Y ...

My screen keep showing the Card Cover Open Error even though the cover is closed. What can i do
It says "Card Over Open" when it is closed

The card door sensor is either damaged, failing or gone completely. You can take camera apart, (7 screws I think) take the back off. Sensor is at the back of camera near the battery door. If sensor is missing, you will see 2 spots on the electronics ...

The camera says card-cover open, but it is closed. The camera will not work. The screen just says CARD-COVER OPEN in red with a blue background and none of the camera functions will work.

Why does my olympus stylus tough 8000 say the card cover is open when it's not? The camera won't let me do anything and I only want to use it above water now anyway, so as far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter if the card cover's open!
How can I stop the camera from displaying this irritating message???

Neither the fujifilm 256MB xd card nor th enew Olympus 2GB xd card will work in the A340. I've put the card in and went to Format it in the camera as per teh menu. It acts like it does but when you take a picture it says "write error" When you turn it on again it still says "card not initialized." I've tried formating them with the camera on (lens cover open) and using the menu and with the camera off (lens cover closed powered on using the button on the back) and using the menu from that screen

The car/battery cover on my olympus u780 all-weather digital camera is broken. I get an error "Card cover open". If I use sticky tape to hold down the card/battery cover the error goes away but I would like to replace the card/battery cover to fix the problem and improve the all-weather capabilities of the camera

How do I format a new SD card? I push Set and then OK/Menu key, it says please wait and then card error! comes up on the screen. If I push cancel first then the camera shuts off. Also the lense cover does not open when I first turn the camera on. The card is a SanDisk SDHC card 8GB
